This paper considers a large class of linear operator equations, including linear boundary value problems for partial differential equations, and treats them as linear recovery problems for functions from their data. Well-posedness of the problem means that this recovery is continuous. Discretization recovers restricted trial functions from restricted test data, and it is well-posed or stable, ...

Familial and twin studies have demonstrated a significant inherited component to prostate cancer predisposition. Genome wide association studies have shown that there are 100 single nucleotide polymorphisms which have been associated with the development of prostate cancer. This review aims to discuss the scientific methods used to identify these susceptibility loci. It will also examine the cu...

The most common adult chronic diseases affect 1 in 3 adults and account for more than three-quarters of US health care spending. The major childhood drivers of adult disease are distinctly nonmedical: poverty, poor educational outcomes, unhealthy social and physical environments, and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Ideally, well-child care (WCC) would address these drivers and help create healthie...

http://pdm.medicine.wisc.edu Prehospital and Disaster Medicine Evaluations of the processes involved in an intervention are similar to the way in which diagnoses and treatments are defined in clinical medicine. Diagnoses and interventions cannot be accomplished without knowing the physiology/pathophysiology of the organ system(s) involved. Therapy is directed at the pathophysiology. As noted in...

Prediction of protein classification is an important topic in molecular biology. This is because it is able to not only provide useful information from the viewpoint of structure itself, but also greatly stimulate the characterization of many other features of proteins that may be closely correlated with their biological functions. In this paper, the LogitBoost, one of the boosting algorithms d...

Recently, many countries have paid substantial attention to power generation from biomass gasification, particularly through small-scale plants. A number of power plant models have been suggested and analyzed; however, certainly, desirable configurations have not been identified yet. Moreover, their performances are ordinarily difficult to compare, especially owing to the fact that working ...

The costs of credit and accountability are good incentives for the Central Bank to increase independence. Independence of power and attention to economic policymaking in monetary decision-making can have a positive effect on the level of economic organization independence. The independent organization of the Central Bank has provided a plan for controlling inflation due to the importance of ind...
